Upgraded TV yesterday to widescreen TV. Since I live in Canada, there isnt a lot of video content I can purchase from iTunes. So I purchased all of the Pixar short films to be a "demo" when my friends come over.

So when I synced then over, only 4 of the 8 available woud play back on the on the Apple TV. I got for the others I got the dissapointing "Apple TV does not support this video format". ARGH. So I plugged in my iPod to make sure the video files werent corrupted. To my horror, they all played nicely on my iPod. WTH?

And to add insult to injury, none of my video purchased videos playback on the unit either. If anyone knows of a work around I would be greatly appreciated.

That wouldn't work at all, since Mediafork only converts DVDs (or ripped DVDs). Also, the content that monkeyboy has is obviously purchased items from the iTunes Store, therefore they would have DRM applied on them.
